Freshly Made Sketches to the Rescue

We were up very early this morning getting my youngest and my husband ready for an all-day lacrosse tournament. At 6 a.m., my hubby asked whether I had made the two bar mitzvah cards that he needed. Excuse me? I think I would have remembered him asking that as I have no stamps for it and no idea what to do! I quickly searched on bar mitzvah, realized that the cards really could be any style, downloaded a free image - and then, most importantly, found a sketch challenge that made my job easier. Freshly Made Sketches to the rescue!!

I thought the sketch was perfect. Since I kept everything black and white, the card reflects the seriousness of the event, yet the cute little flags give it some fun - particularly since these are 13-year old boys.

Wow...fab...love it. Don't you hate it when the man in your life says...remember...I told you...when they really didn't tell you. I'm sure you wouldn't forget having to make cards...we never forget fun stuff.

About Me

I live in Parker, Colorado with my husband, two teen boys, a dog and two cats. I began my adult life as an insurance actuary. I was then blessed to be able to spend 15 years raising my boys during which time I discovered stamping! Now I have obtained a second college degree and have begun working as an accountant for my town. Being surrounded by men at home and being surrounded by numbers work, is it any wonder that I am passionately in love with creating cards - a rainbow of colors, glitter, ribbons and stamps, and a wonderful online community!?

COPIC CHARTS

I have made the decision to stop updating Copic charts - except for Stampin' Up. My Favorite Things and Taylored Expressions have their own charts available. I do not want to promise to keep Papertrey Ink up-to-date because all of their new colors are stock colors which already exist within MFT, TE or SSS and I don't have room to keep buying! I do have old charts available. If you want them, just email me (above) and I can send you a link.
